So my copper chip runs only 8 degrees cooler than your aluminum chip? As I said before, the copper wiring process was not designed for cooling reasons.

They weren't designed to run coolor, but they just do. That's a fact.

My guess is: There is enough variation in each individual chip that you would be hard pressed to find, in real life, the theoretical (cooling) advantage/disadvantage of either alum…

Yes, and why does my copper chip run hotter than some aluminum chips? It is not a fact that copper chips run cooler than aluminum chips. It isn't. Also, how the hell do you speed u…

i just dip my iMac into a vat of liquid helium, it keeps everything nice and frosty

Kozmik, you run a program called G3/G4 profiler form Powerlogix. You can set your L2 cache's speed a LOT higher. I have mine running at 222mhz (stock was 133) and it runs fine an…

Hey, let's all overclock our L2 caches and motherboards and while we're at it let's do our RAM chips and hard disks as well. P.S I overclocked my DVD drive to go at 24x

How fast can the L2 cache go with the comp remaining stable and cool?

FYI: The Temperature sensor is IN the G3 chip, so you won't see any temp increase when boosting the cache speed, that doesn't mean that you are not running your cache too hot. The …

I increased the cache speed to 200MHz with that PowerLogix program, and it works beautifully! There's a noticeable speed difference in some things I do, also. I have a question, th…

Hit "APPLY ON RESTART". The end. Smartass Ca$h. ehehe.

My G4/400 was sitting at 199 mhz and I boosted it to 265.7 mhz that way and it runs for weeks at that speed without a problem. Of course, having two fans in the case helps. My wi…

Mike Sprecher, who describes himself as a "longtime clock and hardware chipper," offered some words of caution for those looking to disconnect the fan from their ATI card inside a …

Has anyone tried the ADB hack on a Rev B motherboard yet? The site I got the hack from (http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/~t-imai/imace2.html) said something about rev B not supporting it,…

This link ain't work! I can vaguely remember seeing the site before though and thinking about it. The Rev. A board is really similar to the Rev. B board apart from the changed grap…

Fixed the link. Sorry.

I recently tried to overclock my Yikes G4 from 400 MHz to 450 MHz by reconfiguring the white jumper block. Once in a while it'll attempt to boot up, but most of the time it goes in…

take it to 500! believe it or not a few people have more succes at 500 than at 450! If you don't think it will go, heres food for thought. I just clocked my sawtooth 350 to 450! -c…

How'd you OC a sawtooth? I thought that was impossible. ------------------ -Ruddigger ------------------ Have you had your gigaflop today?

It's done by switching resistors on the back of the cpu card. I did it by desoldering all the PLL resstors and soldering wire leads to the pads. Then I attatched 1/4 watt resistors…

Some time ago I mentioned my scratched iMac monitor. Appears that replacing it costs $430. That's almost the price of a second hand 17" inch Studio Display. What should I do? Find …

Why not buy one of the iMac rack-mount kits, then get that studio display? Peace

They're not as nice as the G3 cases, and they don't boast extra space for my HD.
